| Subject: My life as a Dyslexic! |
My name is Etan Velarde and throughout my whole life I had to suffer from a powerful and adapting type of D
yslexia that is growing much much worse as I am getting older and I am facing traumatic and emotional events. I have 30 symptoms of Dyslexia and everyday my self-image thinking to myself as imperfect and worthless has affected me to where I breathe the heat of the fire in my heart and feel the cold bitterness in my soul to this very day. I have many troubles with reading, writing, listening, understanding, learning, remembering, and speaking. Mostly my most horrible experiences of my life are caused by my Dyslexia because of my hesitation and my understanding of people. I have poor grades in class, I have little understanding to what I read, write, and hear, I had two girlfriends my whole life and they broke up with me because the first I had trouble speaking my thoughts out to her and the second was when I displayed my depression and my anxiety and I told her to find someone better than this babbling nobody and I realized what I‘ve done and I wanted her back so bad because I love her, I have bad thoughts about myself and to what I think, and I am always afraid I‘m not capable of doing anything right. My Dyslexia has ruined my life but it has also made my life better. The thoughts I have trouble expressing are genius and very very extraordinarily smart and I never knew I was a freaking genius, I seem to have a visual talent into movies, songs, and poetry even though its hard to reveal them, and I have nothing to be ashamed about myself if I‘m mentally crippled. I dream of becoming a filmmaker, actor, motivational speaker for suicidal teens, human rights activist, a musician including rapping and singing for Nu Metal, and the biggest one is to become a hero of the people. Even though I think i‘m dumb and uncapable of anything, I am actually the sweetest, most caring, thoughtful, expressive, accepting, handsome, talented, heroic, intelligent, and perfect person you will ever meet, I have trouble showing people what I can do but I just never give up to what I believe in most and nothing will stop me not even my Dyslexia gets worse as I age that won‘t stop me, I just hate to see people depressed, suicidal, lost hope, and unloved and one day I‘m going to put a stop to it and everyone will remember me not only as a hero but a Dyslexic Hero!
